KEY POINTS:
Three people accused of murdering a convicted paedophile in Manawatu will face depositions hearings in December.
In Pamerston North District Court yesterday, Bruce Tamatea, 46, and Aubrey Harrison, 27, and a 31-year-old Palmerston North woman were remanded until December 12.
The trio are charged with the July killing of Glen Stinson, aged 57, with a record of indecently assaulting young girls stretching over 40-year period.
The woman has had her interim name suppression extended pending a High Court appeal on October 24.
Stinson's battered body was found in the driveway of a Foxton poultry farm on July 25.
He was on bail facing three charges of indecent assault and one of attempted rape on a girl under the age of 12.
